Way back in 2009, the movie adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s literary mash-up, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was in the works. But what happened next? Natalie Portman was in, and then dropped. There was some weird rumor that Scarlett Johansson and Bradley Cooper would star, followed by a much more exciting rumor that James McAvoy was attached. And then there was nothing. Until now!

Deadline has reported that the movie is back on, with David O. Russell (aka the guy who just directed JLaw to an Oscar) writing the script. Guys, this is exciting.
